    Intriguing and mirrors what I’ve seen of solar pricing over the year, but I wonder what goes into LCoE? It wasn’t defined that I saw.

    Docs at Houston Methodist are taking my old liver (they removed in June) and doing genome mapping and some other stuff to the tumors that were there. Told me the hope is to identify what treatments would be most effective should I have a recurrence.

    Told me some folks wouldn’t allow them to test and I had to give permission. I told them those folks are idiots and please do the tests.

    BTW, 3 months after transplant my scans are clean and my liver cancer markers have returned to the normal range!

    targeted cures using gene splicing is somewhere around the corner, give me your tumor, I will map it, give you the drug edited to attack your tumor. i think that the tech is there, they jsut need to make it economical

    am I wrong or is this a big deal?

    Previous record was 105M degrees for 48 seconds. From 48 seconds at 105M degrees to 24 hours at 392M seems significant. the fact that they use contaminated nuclear cooling fluids seems to just be a plus

    US firm sets record with plasma fusion temperature of 392 million degrees F for 24 hrs

    AWashington-based firm has reportedly set a world record in nuclear fusion research during third party, peer-reviewed experiments with radioactive wastewater. Quantum Kinetics Corporation (QKC) claimed that it successfully triggered plasma fusion temperatures of 392 million degrees Fahrenheit (18 keV X-rays) for 24 hours.

    The previous record was achieved in April 2024 by the Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Reactor (KSTAR). The Korean reactor had achieved 105 million degrees Celsius for 48 seconds.
